Default What are my odds?

So, like everyone else, I want to get a job with RPSC. I've spent a few hundred dollars to go to the job fair in April, and I'm curious to see what you think my odds are.

My qualifications:

1 term in the US Air Force as a loadmaster on C130s. I have combat deployment experience in the Middle East. I hope they take that as a sign I can handle the ice.

Currently, I'm finishing up my bachelor's at UC Berkeley in business administration. I have a 1460 SAT and 3.9 GPA. In terms of practical experience, I have quite a few extracurriculars, but my biggest selling points are an internship doing biotech management consulting, and this summer I'll be working as an investment banking analyst for Goldman Sachs.

Being a business major has helped me develop my networking skills, so I think I'll be able to generate some good leads at the job fair. My biggest concern is work experience; I'll be a cook or janitor or whatever they can find for me, but my only relevant experience seems to be my time in the Air Force which shows I can handle the stress and isolation. Will my finance and consulting background even do a thing for me?

Finally, how flexible are they on experience for the management/supervisory jobs? If I have the option, I'd like to take a job that is at least somewhat applicable to my future career plans.

Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks.
